[B-Greek] FYI: Abuse of list-addresses

At least three list members -- and perhaps several others as well
-- have received a message piggy-backed upon messages
from the recent thread on hINA in John 9:3. The message
promotes a petition advocating congressional action; although the
message was sent privately to list-members and hasn't to this point
been sent directly to the list for public distribution, it certainly
violates the spirit if not the letter of a clear provision in our list
protocol:
"Promoting products, services or public causes on this list: We do
not permit messages on this list which can be interpreted as being
of a commercial or business nature, including sales messages from
non-profit organizations. We especially do not permit messages
which spam and/or cross-post religious discussion lists trying to get
people to purchase products or visit various web sites. Advertisements
or job-postings are not allowed without the approval of the list-owner,
Jonathan Robie <bgreek.owner at gmail.com>. Please clear your
requests before posting. Those directly related to the subject matter
of B-Greek will probably be approved."
